I gave the cork ball/paste pot basemix a go today.

I think the issue previously was one of patience, or lack of, and too much water. Around 35 ml per 100g of basemix is just right. As was leaving the rough mix in a sealed plastic bag for 10 minutes, before a quick knead and rolling.

So, for anyone who wants to give it a go, the key is adding a small amount of water in gradual steps definitely works with this basemix.

He uses a gelling agent to replace eggs, apparently.

Sorry, missed this. Thanks. I wasn't aware AH was an 'eggless' mix. Are all of their baits the same?

πŸ˜‚ can it detect and repel bream and small chub too? Or would that be another upgrade? Probably the one I cant afford 😭

Oh yes πŸ˜‚....but like the fast show sketch 'even better than that dear' πŸ˜‚

They're also thinking of using a localised quick release ionotropic glutamate blocker in the bait which will act on its Lateral Pallium, temporarily shutting down its neural communication, so it doesn't associate it's location or sensory inputs with danger, then it'll happily trough on any old tat....so AiB tells me πŸ€”...all true obviously...Derry

Edit, apologies op ☺️

Yep, your boilies will know what the Carp want before they do, they'll auto arrange themselves to lead the Carp directly (or covertly) to your bait and in future releases of AiB will be able to mimick the taste of that carps preferred flavour πŸ˜‚

....but bait boats will still be fair game πŸ€£πŸ‘

Just ask the guys at Baitworks, they are helpful. I asked the same about the Atlantic Heat hookbait kit and cork balls, he said use an egg.

I haven't and I really should. I'm being a stubborn bloke and learning the hard way I guess!
AI baits though?!?! Interesting concept, I'm sure someone can make money from selling that πŸ˜€

I can't see why I should use eggs if the mix doesn't require them. I'm pretty sure the point of no eggs is to reduce the amount of fat in the end product and thereby making it more water Soluble. The advantage of that is allowing the attractants within the bait to disperse more effectively into the flow.

A mate who initially had the issue, overcame it eventually and produced some lovely smooth paste just using water. He mixed some on the bank too, using river water. I probably (do) need more patience. I am crap in the kitchen and that doesn't help πŸ˜‚
